So, I’ve been creating a ‘deeper elearning’ course for one of the video course providers. And I’m not mentioning where it is (yet), since it’s still under development. But to do this, I had to do some serious learning about creating video. And there were some realizations in this, of course. One of the decisions to be made was how to include graphics.

As an L&D professional, you’re probably familiar with the concept of evaluating your learning courses and modules to ensure that you’re providing a value to the organization.
